title: [Parrot's method of angiostereometry in the evaluation of the status of chronic venous disease].
abstract: The authors present the results of capillary resistance measurements (CR) in three groups of examined subjects: with postthrombophlebitic syndrome, in patients with primary varicosis and in examined subjects which comprised the control group. We started from the fact that in more severe clinical conditions within venous insufficiency there also develop severe consequent conditions with the liberation of inflammatory reaction mediators in a greater extent than in the less severe cases and the assumption that in such patients CR is also lowered in the distant parts of the body. Angiostereometry by Parrot was the used technique. A total of 200 hundred persons was investigated. The examined subjects were divided into three groups. In group I there were 80 persons, all with the postthrombophlebitic syndrome which had the CR mean value of 15.26 cmHg (20.3 kPa). In group II there were 60 patients with primary varicosis, and the mean value of their CR was 17.7 cmHg (23.6 kPa). Group III had 60 examined subjects which comprised the control group, and their CR mean value was 19.90 cmHg (26.5 kPa). The difference was statistically significant. Capillary resistometry by Parrot is a very convenient method for the follow up and evaluation of clinical conditions of many diseases, as well as the follow up of therapy results. Due to all of its advantages it is superior to all stoppage methods such as Rumpel-Leed, for example.
